Summary

This Korean paper reviewed what is known about microplastic transport and fate in the subsurface environment, an area that has received far less research attention than marine or surface water systems. Soils and groundwater may serve as both sinks and transport pathways for microplastics entering from the surface.

Plastics have become essential materials in human life for several decades. Meanwhile, the inadvertent spread of plastic debris from the use of many plastic products has raised global environmental concerns. The risk of microplastics in subsurface environment has received little attention because so...
